Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 30 Zhang Xi: Never Expected
"Your Majesty, the Young Master Zhongfu is asking to see you."

The little eunuch walked in small steps, bowed and walked through the long corridor outside Weiyang Palace, always walking with only half of the soles of his feet in contact with the ground.The pace is so light that it seems to be floating.He saluted deeply through the curtain and announced in a low voice.

"Oh, is it Mr. Zhong?"

Liu Xie stopped Dong Guiren from playing the piano, and motioned her to go behind the screen first.After carefully tidying up some messy clothes, he ordered loudly, "Come in, please."

Zhong Ping followed the little eunuch, walking through the winding and long corridor.

... I don't know what the meaning of repairing these things is. If nothing else, it's just so gloomy. Is it true that you won't think of any horror stories when you leave?

I always feel that Liu Xie should often get lost.

Zhong Ping complained silently.

"Chen Zhongping, thanks..."

Zhong Ping lifted his lower garment and stepped into the announcement room. Just as he was about to salute, Liu Xie walked out from behind the curtain barefoot, grabbed his hand, and walked in.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit beside me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhong Ping straightened his back and sat down on the left seat as usual.

Strange, why do you feel a familiar smell in the air?

Zhongping's nose moved slightly.

"What does Chong Qing have to teach me?" Liu Xie was full of anticipation. Although Zhong Ping didn't enter the palace many times, every time he could put forward some fresh suggestions for Liu Xie.

Liu Xie often has more insights in his mind and benefits a lot from it when he handles government affairs after accepting it.

Zhong Ping glanced at his system bar.

It's nice to offer advice to Liu Xie, but you can't catch him every time.

After all, Liu Xie accepts it every time because of his trust in himself, but he can't guarantee that the suggestions he put forward are all correct...

This should be the last time he made a suggestion to Liu Xie.

Zhong Ping sighed secretly, he moved the seat forward, stretched out his hand to untie the seal ribbon around his waist and put it aside, then took off the Jinxian crown on his head.

Liu Xie's face changed drastically immediately.

Officials in the Han Dynasty mainly distinguished their official ranks by the crowns on their heads and the seals and ribbons on their waists. Among them, the seals and ribbons were the credits issued by the emperor to officials at all levels, and they were the evidence of political power and the symbol of social status of officials.

Seals and ribbons must be worn by officials and cannot be borrowed from others.

There are strict regulations and strict procedures for printing and ribbons from production, granting to use.In the case of promotion, dismissal, or conviction of an official, the seal and ribbon must be surrendered.Therefore, "jieyinshou" also means resignation and dismissal.

Liu Xie hurriedly got up, and without waiting for Zhong Ping to make another move, he pressed his hand firmly, and asked in a voiceless voice: "Why is Zhong Qing like this?!"

"Your Majesty is trusting me, and I was promoted to be a young man. Since I was ordered, I have been in a state of fear and fear. Every day, I feel like I am facing a deep situation, and I dare not not do my best..."

"I know that Zhong Qing has worked hard." Liu Xie interrupted Zhong Ping's words, and asked earnestly: "After listening to the impeachment speeches in the court, Zhong Qing is worried that I will be suspicious and listen to and trust?"

"If this is the reason, you can rest assured."

Liu Xie held Zhong's hand tightly: "I am not a person who discriminates between black and white. Back then, I dared to promise Situ to hand over the military power in the city to Qing. How could I be provoked today?"

To be honest, I don't mean that, I just don't want to do math anymore...

Of course, there is also a little reluctance to get involved in partisan disputes, just a bit of a mimi.

Now the situation in the court is relatively clear: Wang Yun's party, which has mostly contributed to the killing of Dong; Dong Zhuo's old department headed by foreign relatives;

The three major factions ruled the court, the royal party and the Dong party faced each other, and the Yang party watched from the other side.

As for the level...

Most people think that he is a Wang Yun party, or a pure imperial party (meaning that he is completely attached to Liu Xie).

Only Zhong Ping knows that he is not in any party. If he insists on saying it, he probably...can't say it, and he wants to be harmonious.

"Your Majesty, if I don't know the way of arithmetic, I really can't be qualified for the post of Shaofu."

Zhong Ping sighed, at this moment, he chose to showdown.

Liu Xie's expression was blank for a moment.

I was planning to beat those who want to mess with you when I go to court tomorrow, but you are here?
Just because of this?

Could it be that I let you be the young man to let you settle accounts... Uh, it seems... Although I let you manage the treasures in the palace, it is to show my favor for you!Why can't you see things like this clearly? !

Liu Xie was heartbroken.

"Chong Qing really doesn't want to take up the post of Shaofu again?" Liu Xie withdrew his hand and asked seriously.

"This... I feel that I still need to practice for a few more years."

Zhong Ping was a little embarrassed. He was probably the first person to resign because he didn't want to do arithmetic.

Liu Xie calmly watched Zhong Ping arrange his Jinxian crown and seal ribbon, and put them on the table: "What do you think of the position of Taishi Ling?"

Zhong Ping was taken aback, his scalp was numb.

In fact, he still wanted to refuse. In the current situation of the court, wouldn't he be a target if he became an official?

The purpose of offering advice is to follow through, although I also have a little improvement idea about this world in my heart.

But it's not yet time to find a suitable partner and take it out.

Now that the rewards have all been saved, and he still jumps out to attack others, isn't this pure brains?
It's just that Liu Xie is now proposing to give him the post of Taishi Ling. Isn't he slapping Liu Xie in the face if he refuses again?

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhong Ping bowed in salute, and slowly backed out.

Only then did Dong Guiren come out from behind the screen, her black hair was like a cloud, piled slightly to the right, and there was still some blush on her face.

"That's Zhong Boheng who is famous in Chang'an? From the perspective of a concubine, it's nothing more than that."

She lay sideways on Liu Xie's lap, and said coquettishly: "I think that kind of Bo Heng has no ambitions, I really can't figure out why His Majesty would value him so much?"

Liu Xie's face turned cold.

He directly pushed Dong Guiren on his lap, his eyes were full of warning: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Bo Heng is my confidant, don't you think that I don't know about your secret methods!"

Dong Guiren was pushed to the ground by Liu Xie, and after hearing these words, his face paled and he was busy doing what he wanted.

Roughly straightened the clothes and skirts, knelt and sat beside Liu Xie, not daring to speak any more.

Only then did Liu Xie calm down, helped Dong Guiren up, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "I know this is nothing to do with you. Qingqing loves me, and I know it well."

As he spoke, he moved the paulownia qin that Dong Guiren played earlier to his body, and said with a smile: "Qingqing play another song for me, how about it?"

Dong Guiren immediately understood, smiled charmingly, leaned down while rolling his eyes, stroking the somewhat scattered temples with his right hand, picked up the strings with his white and round fingertips, gently gathered them and slowly twirled them again.

After a while, the noisy and messy sound of the piano sounded again behind the heavy curtain.
